Hi community,
In our automotive industry, we are using an Open Platform Communications (OPC) server along with other industrial devices (as OPC servers) and we would like to monitor them.
Are you aware and can recommend a network monitoring Software with an OPC client plugin?
Thanks,
Best regards
Christian
Hi there!
We've had a similar need to this for a SIEMENS-based industrial monitoring project. We've used Zabbix with a custom Python plugin we've developed.
Your best bet would be an open-source monitoring tool such as Zabbix with a reliable library for OPC-UA to develop from. With that, you can create your own plugin and make it relevant to your requirements. There's such a library for Python in case that is your language of preference.
Zabbix has a Modbus integration in case it would help. For OPC, GitHub is a good place to look for.
Sorry, I'm a little late for this party.
I don't have direct experience with OPC-based monitoring, so the best I can probably do is to echo Faycal's answer.
Zabbix has an extremely flexible data ingestion engine - including MQTT & ModBus.
Again, forgive my lack of knowledge of OPC, but it may also be relevant to say that the Zabbix Agent 2 is a modular Zabbix agent that can be extended. This means that - in line with Faycal's comment, an OPC module could be developed in GO and incorporated into the Zabbix agent itself.
Sorry, I can't add much more to this topic.
